Don’t Panic when 42nd Avenue is Renamed
Finally a bit of humor for the whole process. It is a very bad thing for businesses to have a street renamed because of the expense involved. However the last proposal I’ve seen makes me think, “Go for it.”
If you are not familiar with the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy series by the late Douglass Adams, I’ll just state that 42 is an important number and leave it at that.
There will be no references to very bad poetry, sad robots, or double headed goof-offs. I will not mention how important peanuts and towels are. I will not even mention anything about the importance of renaming a cross street to Improbability Drive the following year.
So if you haven’t already jumped over to http://rename42nd.org, I’ll tell you now that the Portland they are referencing is Portland, Oregon.
